One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

The Le Tigre pumpkin spice latte ad reminds me that Starbucks are disgusting union busters and that there are better places to get your coffee.

The White House is using taxpayer money to run pro-Trump propaganda ads just weeks before the midterm elections. @swin24.bsky.social and @andrewperez.bsky.social report how the ads violate federal laws and why this ad campaign even exists. Read more: zeteo.com/p/trump-love...

Watched an IG video where a guy played the guitar solo to Hotel California on a toy organ where every note goes meow. Four days later, all I can say is when that song is stuck in your head you can check out any time you like but you can never leave. Meow.

The only thing I knew about Ed Sheeran before this week is that he has a song named Galway Girl that isn't a cover of Steve Earle's Galway Girl but instead a much shittier song built around the same basic concept and that discovering that fact made me never want to know anything else about him.

How did Sheeran not know that Macklemore was very definitely going to be taking about Palestine on stage after "Hind's Hall" and basically every public statement he's made since releasing that track?

If only the media had as much interest in the world's richest person, the primary funder of the Republican Party, who spoke at Trump's Inauguration and gave a Sieg Heil, once again declaring his belief "white solidarity is the only way to survive" as they do some Twitch streamer.

The perennial battle over Great Highway & Sunset Dunes park is, like most elections in San Francisco, inundated with political donations. And it's almost all going to one side: The pro-park side has outraised the pro-road side 7-to-1. via @junyaoyang.bsky.social missionlocal.org/2026/09/sf-s...

No starker example of the media having different rules for each political party. If the press treated Elon Musk like Hasan Piker, every Republican in America would be forced to answer questions about why their party's biggest donor espouses anti-semitic race science.

ICE has arrested at least 2,440 people in San Francisco since President Trump’s second term began, according to new data. That was the fourth-highest number of arrests for any city in the state.

Mid '90s and I'm at a short-lived (particularly) indie record shop in Chicago. A woman walks in and asks the guy behind the counter if they have any Bush CDs. The guy looks up, takes a breath, and says "No." She leaves without another word being exchanged.

RIP San Francisco Democratic Party. The DCCC members installed by tech oligarchs just voted against affordable housing (Prop I) and against taxing billionaires (Prop 40). The local SF Dem party is now Blue-MAGA and it’s endorsements should be ignored by anyone who cares about our city.

I’m sure it would be a rare member of the media that would concede campaigning with or taking donations from Musk should be treated as beyond the pale scandalous.

Every progressive gets chased around about their relationship to Hasan Piker. Has ONE reporter ever asked JD Vance about his embrace of the insane and anti-democratic ideas of Curtis Yarvin? Or about his relationship with democracy-hater Peter Thiel? The imbalance is stark.

The "centrist" think tank Third Way is looking to pay someone between $140,000 and $150,000 to spend their days trying to dig up dirt on DSA members. They're trying to sell this gig as "anti-extremism" work, which I find completely disgusting.
from job listing:

As the Director of Anti-Extremism, a typical day might include…

Assembling and updating a database of the DSA’s most extreme ideas and statements and a repository of voting records, affiliations, and issue positions to make available to allies and partners;
Leading public opinion research to identify and test the contrasts that move base voters away from these extreme candidates;
Overseeing the development of memos, talking points, rapid response materials, and other products that make the case against these extreme forces in American politics;
Promoting and marketing our research and materials to ensure they reach decisionmakers quickly, repeatedly, and at scale through a coordinated distribution infrastructure;
Recruiting and arming a group of young, diverse spokespeople to fight the DSA from a center-left perspective and assembling a broad coalition of organizational partners to make the case against extremism;
Running an earned media program to create a drumbeat of our message in op-eds, television appearances, podcasts, and traditional and digital media engagement.

Important: Trump’s executive order is NOT legislation. Though the executive order promotes more misinformation about vaccines, nothing has changed about the availability of childhood vaccines. For evidence-based guidance, please follow and share American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.
